The Sybians is a reggae project from Amsterdam. After their first single in 2025, they now come up with their debut full-length album, offering thirteen
The Hostile Ones are a band from Helsinki, and this is their latest release, put out on a ten-inch vinyl. I first came across mentions of their activity in 2022, so unless the band had been secretly creating something underground before that, this is a fairly new project. They sing...
The Enforcers from Canada have already appeared here – back then in a review of their debut album. That one was excellent, and the band continues in the very same spirit. Their second release, or rather a mini-album from this tough Canadian bootboy gang, came out as a joint effort...
Castillo from Los Angeles are one of the leading names of the dominant wave of Oi! currently storming clubs across the U.S.. The driving force behind the project is Alex Zambrano, who has been involved in a number of Oi!/streetpunk/hardcore bands – most notably Combat Force, Criminal Outfit, and Repeat...
Big Dog is an Oi! band from Buffalo featuring members of Violent Way, with a massive guy named Graham on vocals. The guys from Violent Way deliver heavy and aggressive Oi!, while Graham tops it off with his rough voice. The result is four fierce tracks with a perfect sound...
Brut is a project by Brod Ashmol from Australia, who has been involved in bands like Marching Orders, Stranglehold, Razorcut, The Truth, and The Hard Targets. If I understood correctly, Brut is actually a one-man project, but I’m not entirely sure – the booklet didn’t reveal much, so in that...
Over the Hill is a Canadian band from Montreal, made up of guys who have been around the scene for quite a few years. If you’re curious about which bands the members played in before, check out the interview we did with them earlier this year on our website –...
The Sybians is a reggae project from Amsterdam. After their first single in 2025, they now come up with their debut full-length album, offering thirteen tracks with a total running time of 35 minutes – which, in my opinion, is just about perfect for this style. The record was released...
Dávka štěstí is the eighth, ninth, or quite possibly even the tenth full-length record by the Prague punk rock band Nežfaleš — depending on whether you count the split with Supertesla and the compilation Dvě desítky let among their regular albums. I’ll leave that up to you. What’s certain, however,...
The Australian band The Vee Bees formed in 2000, so they’ve already racked up a respectable quarter century of existence. Honestly, I didn’t know this band at all before, but they deliver a likable mix of punk and rock’n’roll. They don’t take themselves too seriously and, instead of focusing on...
No Heart is a Canadian band I’ve been following since around 2018, when they released the album Can’t Get Out. That record carried a fairly raw Oi!/street punk spirit that entertained me in a similar way to early recordings by Perkele. A ringing guitar clashing like swords in a duel,...
At the end of 2025, the Prague-based label Knockout Booking released an album by the Finnish band Pay Cut. The band hails from Helsinki, which raises the question of whether there is any personal or at least scene-related connection to The Hostile Ones, who come from the same city and...
SIKK are a band from Belgrade, Serbia, and this is their debut release, put out on the German label Try And Stop Me Records. While the title points toward bovver rock, the result feels much more colorful and built on a wider range of influences. The singer in SIKK...
